Such heartbreak!i am so, so very sorry.Loosing a dear furry member of the family hurts so very deeply...especially when it happens when they are young.My deepest heartfelt sympathies to you and the rest of your lovely furries.

you would think living where you do he would of been safe but....so sad to hear this Jackie. I am sure the few short months you had him were so happy for you all. How is his sister? I don't know how you can take losing another cat so close to all the sadness you had with the gingers. I was suppose to be making you feel better and I have failed terribly, sorry. xxx

Your beautiful silver boy.I had a beautiful golden boy taken the same way, 11 months old, on a country road. He, too, burst into our lives as an extraordinary force of nature, completely himself from the moment I met him at four weeks old. He glowed with ginger fire. He took over the household from the moment he arrived and drove my elderly lady cats mad. His first prey was a gloriously mysterious owl pellet, full of wild bits and pieces. He was not the 'Maurice' of my life, but knowing him for that short time changed everything. I am sure that creatures like your Genji and my Titus are here for a reason and they leave so soon for a reason. It is our misfortune and our great good fortune to collide with the universe's plan for these fantastic explosions of bright energy which spend such a short but glorious time with us.

Beautiful Boy, forever young. So sorry, Jackie, for the pain in your heart, and for the loss of her brother to Baggage (Freya) and of their friend to Elmo and Max. Many purrs and prayers go with Genji on his ascension.

The Three

When first we started there were four of us, all ginger, and Max. Time has passed. The ginger pride are ghost cats, appart from Elmo. Now the house holds Max, oldest, tabby farm cat, dark, usually found sleeping on a cushion, Elmo, last of the Gingers, beautiful handsome and wonderful who still walks to the high hill top. And now there is Baggage and Bundle, silver mischief in sharp clawed kitten form. The adventures continue.
